Hello again there. When I was trying to find article about the poorest countries in the world, I find the words " Thanks God Indonesian does not enter the 50 poorest countries in the world". It's a good news for me and you, right? But when I see the picture of them (poorest countries), I just asked to my self, "why". Well, I don't want to share my sadness with you, but only a little knowledge about 3 poorest countries in the world.
1. Democratic Republic of Congo GDP Per Capita: $ 348 (in 2011)
Democratic Republic of Congo has been the poorest country in the world in 2010. Congo (formerly called Zaire between 1971 and 1997), is a country in Central Africa.
Many of their villages have been looted and emptied of people by the rebels, they said. Roads were filled with people returning to rebel-held territory, carrying their belongings on their heads or on their backs.
However, others, fearful of fresh violence, continued to leave their homes, overwhelming aid centers. 
GDP Per Capita: $ 456 (in 2011)
Republic of Liberia is a country on the west coast of Africa bordered by Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ivory Coast. Liberia recently hit by two civil wars (1989-1996 and 1999-2003) which destroy Liberian economy. Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil war and related economic dislocation, with about 85% of the population living under $ 1 per day.
3. Zimbabwe GDP Per Capita: $ 487 (in 2011)
Republic of Zimbabwe is a country in southern Africa. Zimbabwe's economy continued to slump from time to time. Inflation in this country continues to increase to 2.2 million%, which became the world's highest inflation. Due to the high inflation, the central bank of Zimbabwe has issued 4 versions currencies until now. Central bank of Zimbabwe issued a fractional $ 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion dollars), which became the world's largest nominal money which is then replaced with a dollar-for version 4 wherein each $ 100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion dollars) replaced the old money new money, $ 1. Now Zimbabwe central bank decided to allow people to use the U.S. dollar as their currency to stabilize the economy of Zimbabwe.
I don't want to live like them, and I'm sure you think so. Let's make Indonesia be a better country by education that we have, and we can also help the people who need us like the people in Congo, Liberia, and Zimbabwe. Thanks for reading.
